Create Undead


Rules Questions


If you use a corpse and raise it. Do they then keep their abilities when raised with the create undead spell?

IE does a fighter keep its feats if it is made into a skeleton champion? Does a sorcerer keep spell casting?

It depends on what creature you're creating. The skeleton and zombie templates say it loses all feats, class abilities, and so on.

Note that the create undead and create greater undead spells don't allow you to create skeletal champions.


ah thank you sean, i goes i need to look closer.

I did not realize that it has to do with the template that you are adding, that makes things easier to understand.

What templates keep feats? (that is an open question not just for sean) :)

JuJu Zombie, and Skeletal Champion comes to mind.

Really? In Undead Revisited on p.3 it has a table with various undead types and the requirements for creating them. Skeletal Champions mention requiring minimum caster level 11, Create Undead and Enervation or Energy Drain as an additional requirement. Am I missing something?

Juju Zombie still works.

Correct Dezhem. See create undead on d20pfsrd.com for more undead you can create as well.

I have been waiting on the answer to this question forever. What about ghasts, ghouls, mohrgs, or mummies?
